#a crush any thoughts he had abt annabeth vs rachel were merely his own. like rachel was not putting herself against annabeth

[understandably-odd]

i feel like rachel dare is hated a lot because she “gets in the way of percabeth.” but in reality she was just a fifteen year old girl who liked a guy. like she was never an anti-annabeth or willfully stopping percy from being with annabeth (in fact she actually does encourage percy to go after annabeth). she, similar to calypso, just fell for percy, understood he did not reciprocate her feelings, and let him go. and that’s not even the whole of her story! like so much of what is said about rachel is just relating to percy, but she herself is such a cool character. like she led percy and annabeth through the labyrinth, something that nobody else was able to navigate. she hit kronos in the eye with a hairbrush, and though she didn’t know who he was at first, she knew he was dangerous. she literally became the oracle! like rachel dare is such a cool, incredible character and she is always watered down to an obstacle in the percabeth relationship, which she never was.

#and she would never have made a move on percy if she had known he was completely uninterested. like she was not #preventing his relationship with annabeth. he was also a little interested in her and though his feelings never went beyond #a crush any thoughts he had abt annabeth vs rachel were merely his own. like rachel was not putting herself against annabeth #also as much as i love annabeth rachel did not deserve the treatment that annabeth gave her. like annabeth’s jealousy was because she also #liked percy but rachel was consistently nice to her despite that. #anyways. could say more but i feel like this is the most i have rambled on here in a bit. so. #jack quacks #rachel elizabeth dare #percy jackson #pjo #percy jackson and the olympians #annabeth chase #please i hope this makes sense
